It's far more likely that Alvarado drops the Herrera bout on the undercard to be in the main event than it is that Rios gets any of the Golden Boy fighters in the poll.
Just move up to 140 and mix it up with them cats if the Gamboa fight doesn't come off. Maidana would be a good intro fight as he'll have something to prove
I guess this is a fantasy thread with all the GBP fighters being listed? Alvarado is the most suitable replacement. I'd be pretty ****ing pissed if I had spent the money on tickets, flight, hotel to go see Rios-Abril
First **** off noob. Second I like Broner skills but he is largely unproven. The only time that he fought a B level fighter he got a gift decision. Rios has fought a lot better opposition and has shown good skills for a pressure fighter. He has good jab and ok defense. Peterson thought that he was a mindless brawler and got the **** beaten out of him for that.
+1 I've been posting about how great a Broner-Rios HBO Faceoff would be.. Rios dropping F-Bombs left and right whilst Broner smiles and has Max brush his hair.
